Watching some documentary about some shady coach with cult leader tendencies and a bunch of victims talk about how they fell for it and a bunch of experts explain how that happens and the comments are full of people going “whoa how can they be so dumb, this would never happen to me”.
And guys. Did you even watch the video or did you just come here to piss on the poor. Of course it feels good to think you’re soso smart. But everybody can be manipulated. Thinking it can’t happen to you just makes you blind. Maybe ask yourself instead what would have to happen to you for you to become vulnerable to it. And what kind of person or concept or group would appeal to you and look like the solution. Like. Know your type. And yourself. And all that.
If it doesn’t happen to you that just means you’re lucky that you didn’t encounter the thing or person that would’ve worked on you when you were at your lowest.
